Happy Valentine's Day

I helped myself to the chocolate covered strawberries that Daddy gave Mommy.

Sunday in Winona

Lura's dog Sapphire is bigger than mine. And a lot more tolerant of my pats too.
Sapphire makes a good seat.
Aunt Heather and Lura had a contest on Lura's trampoline. Here is Heather's attempt.
Who do you think won? Mommy says that while Aunt Heather definitely gets points for style(the socks) and showmanship(the facial expression) she thinks that Lura won due to her almost perfect excution-pointed toes and straight arms. Her training at Susan Allen School of Dance is certainly evident here.
This is their effort at a tandem trick.
At first, I wasn't so sure about the trampoline. Then I started to like it-just a little bit.

The Very Cold Zoo Visit

We went to the zoo on Sunday, a very cold day as evidenced by my rosy cheeks. As always, it was a fight to keep my coat on , much less my hood up.
Isn't this the cutest baby giraffe??
Maybe if I stand here like this, the polar bears will think I'm lunch and come out of their hiding place. For the record, they never did.
Hmmmm..... Just how does this thing work?

Toilet Paper Bandit

This is what Mommy found when she realized that I was being quiet. Believe it or not, this is the only time I've ever gotten into the tp.
